Excerpt characterizing Merode, Cleo de
I looked at her with all my eyes, and apparently noticing this, Stella laughed and cheerfully admitted:– Don’t think that it was me myself – it was my grandmother who taught me!..
I was very ashamed to feel like a complete incompetent, but the desire to know more was a hundred times stronger than any shame, so I hid my pride as deeply as possible and carefully asked:
– What about all these amazing “realities” that we are seeing here now? After all, this is someone else’s, specific life, and you don’t create them in the same way as you create all your worlds?
- Oh no! – the little girl was again glad to have the opportunity to explain something to me. - Of course not! This is just the past in which all these people once lived, and I’m just taking you and me there.
- And Harold? How does he see all this?
- Oh, it’s easy for him! He’s just like me, dead, so he can move wherever he wants. After all, he no longer has a physical body, so his essence does not know any obstacles here and can walk wherever it wants... just like me... - the little girl finished more sadly.
I sadly thought that what was for her just a “simple transfer into the past”, for me, apparently for a long time will be a “mystery behind seven locks”... But Stella, as if hearing my thoughts, immediately hurried to reassure me :
- You'll see, it's very simple! You just have to try.
– And these “keys”, are they never repeated by others? – I decided to continue my questions.
“No, but sometimes something else happens...” for some reason, the little one answered, smiling funny. “That’s exactly how I got caught at the beginning, for which they even beat me up very badly... Oh, that was so stupid!..”
- How? – I asked, very interested.
Stella immediately answered cheerfully:
- Oh, that was very funny! - and after thinking a little, she added, “but it’s also dangerous... I was looking on all the “floors” for the past incarnation of my grandmother, and instead of her, a completely different entity came along her “thread”, which somehow managed to “copy” my grandmother’s “ flower" (apparently also a "key"!) and, just as I had time to rejoice that I had finally found it, this unfamiliar entity mercilessly hit me in the chest. Yes, so much that my soul almost flew away!..
- How did you get rid of her? – I was surprised.
“Well, to be honest, I didn’t get rid of it...” the girl became embarrassed. - I just called my grandmother...
– What do you call “floors”? – I still couldn’t calm down.
– Well, these are different “worlds” where the essences of the dead live... In the most beautiful and highest live those who were good... and, probably, the strongest too.
- People like you? – I asked, smiling.
- Oh, no, of course! I probably got here by mistake. – The girl said completely sincerely. – Do you know what’s most interesting? From this “floor” we can walk everywhere, but from the others no one can get here... Isn’t that interesting?..
Yes, it was very strange and very excitingly interesting for my “starved” brain, and I really wanted to know more!.. Maybe because until that day no one had ever really explained anything to me, but just sometimes someone - gave (like, for example, my “star friends”), and therefore, even such a simple childish explanation already made me unusually happy and made me delve even more furiously into my experiments, conclusions and mistakes... as usual, finding in everything that was happening even more unclear. My problem was that I could do or create “unusual” very easily, but the whole problem was that I also wanted to understand how I create it all... And this is precisely what I have not been very successful in yet ...

Name Cleo de Merode has firmly entered the history of world culture. The French dancer was remembered not only for her choreographic skills. There were so many rumors of various kinds about her that even after years it is difficult to understand where the truth is and where the fiction is. Although it is known for certain that her beauty drove King Leopold II of Belgium crazy, her portraits were painted by Degas and Klimt, and she willingly posed for fashion magazines, becoming famous as one of the first world-famous fashion models.
The fate of Cleo de Maro has always been shrouded in mystery. She was born in Paris in 1875, danced from childhood, and began performing on stage at the age of 11. It is generally accepted that her father was the Austrian artist Karl von Merode, and her mother belonged to the Austrian branch of the noble Belgian family of de Merode, but historians are still not sure whether this information is genuine.
Her dance debut, “Cambodian Dances,” at the World Exhibition held in Paris in 1900, was so successful that Cleo was immediately talked about as a very promising talent. Interestingly, for her stage image, Cleo de Merode came up with a special hairstyle: her hair was parted in the middle and pulled back smoothly, covering her ears. Over time, this became an integral part of her image, and, in addition, many fashionistas picked up this romantic style.
At 23, Cleo had the honor of dancing in Bordeaux. It was there that the Belgian monarch Leopold drew attention to her. Having no passion for opera and ballet, he began to regularly come to the beauty’s performances; the Parisians nicknamed the crowned admirer Cleopold. Rumor has it that the king was even ready to abdicate the throne and marry; many attributed a stormy affair to him and Cleo, although the dancer herself, who, moreover, was 38 years younger than her admirer, insisted all her life (and even filed an official statement in court ) that nothing ever happened between them. Only one luxurious bouquet of roses, presented to her on the occasion of her next visit. Although this is not the whole truth: oddly enough, Leopold decided to benefit not only his beloved, but also the whole of Paris; on the advice of Cleo, a metro was built in the capital with the money of the monarch.
Despite all Cleo's attempts to defend her good name, the reputation of the king's favorite was firmly entrenched in her. She was forced to leave Paris, but so far she was enthusiastically received by the scenes of Hamburg, Berlin, St. Petersburg, Budapest and New York. Merode was the first dancer in Russian ballet to perform in a duet with a man.
Cleo's beauty was so attractive that her portraits were painted by the most famous artists of the 20th century: Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec, Boldini, Friedrich August von Kaulbach and Franz von Lenbach. She willingly took photographs with Leopold Reutlinger, Felix Nadar and his son Paul. Postcards with her images were scattered around the world. Although this was not without another scandal: after Alexander Falguier presented the nude sculpture “Dancer”, for which Cleo posed, no one wanted to believe that the girl was modest and chaste (the dancer herself assured that the body was sculpted according to a model , but the face of the sculpture is real; this version was later shared by Gauguin).
Returning to Paris at the age of 42, she found herself out of work: only the Comedy Opera awaited her, but for a ballerina of this level this was tantamount to disgrace. Cleo left her homeland forever and moved to Biarritz, where she took part in Red Cross charity events, performing for soldiers during the First World War. At the end of her life, Cleo starred in the film “Frauen der Leidenschaft”; the role turned out to be so successful that it attracted the attention of Gustav Klimt.
Cleo de Merode - the woman who drove Leopold II crazy
Today Cleo de Merode is called the “postcard Madonna”; it is believed that she was one of the first professional fashion models. Although we should not forget that the first ones appeared at the end of the 19th century...
